The seat can't be lowered because it nearly rests on the chassis as is. You
can take some of the stuffing out of the seat bottom to lower your bottom.
Or, http://www.seriousauto.com/miata.html carries (or at least used to
carry) the Momo Start seat and tracks, and
http://www.rspeed.net/miata/item.asp?dept=8&cat=19&prod=570-002
has Bride seats. I'm sure other Miata vendors have other seats.
Check Miata.net product reviews; Corbeau seats seem to lower the driver.

Subject: Miata Drivers seat/Bracket?
My brother is interested inbuying a car for Autocross. He sat in a stock-ish
Miata and stared straight into the windshield header. I remember a
discussion
here a few years ago, prompted by a person with a similar "disability". They
wanted to lower the mount for the drivers seat - which, of course, was
illegal
for stock class. Legality is not my brothers problem. He is just starting
off
and will be running for fun. Does anybody know of a seat bracket that will
drop the stock Miata seat - or, failing that is there a "non-Kirkey" Street
seat
that people have installed that allows more headroom? - Seth Emerson
